In a benevolent gesture, entry period they extended an invitation to the Idaho Native Plant Society (INPS) to conduct a joint meeting in Boise. This will be a unique and exciting opportunity to meet with professional and amateur July 11-15, 2013: botanists from North America and other parts of the world and a great chance for us to show Summer Botany Foray off the natural beauty and ecological uniqueness of the Gem State. Members of the American Penstemon Society are working with members of the Pahove Chapter of INPS to plan and conduct the meeting. This should make it possible to meet the needs of both organizations. However, because APS issued the invitation, and to avoid confusion, the meeting format will largely follow APS tradition. This means that the meeting will depart from what INPS has normally done in the past. A few differences include: meeting events will be based out of hotel facilities, meeting dates will include a time frame from Friday afternoon through Monday evening (if you choose to participate in the post-meeting tour, otherwise it is over on Sunday evening), and the meeting committee is arranging for a larger portion of meal and event expenses (meaning the registration fees will be higher). Hopefully, the opportunities provided by the meeting will balance out the greater commitment by INPS IDAHO NATIVE members in time and money. We encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful event, in PLANT SOCIETY spite of the departure from INPS tradition. February 2013 Included in this article is a detailed itinerary and description of events for the annual meeting.

    Macfarlane's four o'clock (Mirabilis macfarlanei) ENDANGERED Flowers (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of Macfarlane’s four o’clock. Photos by Thomas Kaye. If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Nyctaginaceae Plant description Macfarlane’s four o’clock is a stout perennial that forms hemispheric clumps 0.6-1.2 m in diameter, with several freely branched decumbent or ascending stems that are glabrous to sparsely puberulent. The leaves are opposite and fleshy, the lower blades orbicular to ovate-deltoid, the upper narrowly ovate. The petioles of lower leaves are 1- 2.5 cm long; upper leaves are nearly sessile. Flowers are clustered (4-7) in involucres borne on stalks about 1 cm long in the upper axils and on shoot apices. The conspicuous involucres are green to purplish, 1.3-2.5 cm long. The showy perianth is magenta, broadly funnelform, and 1.5-2.5 cm long, the limb slightly longer than the tube. The ellipsoid fruits are light brown to grayish, with 10 slender ribs visible when wet, 6-9 mm long, tuberculate, glabrous or very sparsely puberulent. Distinguishing characteristics No other Mirabilis species occur within the range of Macfarlane’s four o’clock. Mirabilis laevis var. retrorsa has shorter involucres (0.5-0.7 cm long), a white to pale pink perianth, and ranges from Malheur and Harney Counties in Oregon southward. Macfarlane’s four o’clock is most closely related to M. multiflora var. glandulosa and M. greenei, which occur in Nevada and California, respectively, and have longer involucres and larger perianths.

    THE VASCULAR FLORA OF THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WALNUT FORMATION Rebecca K. Swadek Tony L. Burgess Texas Christian University Texas Christian University Department of Environmental Science Department of Environmental Science Botanical Research Institute of Texas TCU Box 298830 1700 University Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76129, U.S.A. Fort Worth, Texas 76107-3400, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Political boundaries frequently define local floras. This floristic project takes a geological approach inspired by Dalea reverchonii (Comanche Peak prairie clover), which is primarily endemic to glades of the Walnut Formation. The Cretaceous Walnut Formation (Comanchean) lies on the drier western edge of the Fort Worth Prairie in North Central Texas. Its shallow limestone soils, formed from alternating layers of hard limestone and clayey marl, support a variety of habitats. Glades of barren limestone typically appear on ridgetops, grassland savannas form on eroding hillslopes, and seeps support diverse hyperseasonal vegetation. Vouchers were collected from January 2010 to June 2012 resulting in 469 infraspecific taxa, 453 species in 286 genera and 79 families. The richest five plant families are Asteraceae (74 taxa), Poa- ceae (73), Fabaceae (34), Euphorbiaceae (18), and Cyperaceae (17). There are 61 introduced species. Results indicate floristic affinities to limestone cedar glades of the Southeastern United States, the Edwards Plateau of Central Texas, and calcareous Apacherian Savannas of Southwestern North America. RESUMEN Las fronteras políticas definen frecuentemente las floras locales. Este proyecto florístico toma una aproximación geológica inspirada en Dalea reverchonii (trébol de la paradera de Comanche Peak), que es primariamente endémico de los claros de la formación Walnut.

  • "Micropropagation of Members of the Cactaceae Subtribe Cactinae"
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 115(2):337-343. 1990. Micropropagation of Members of the Cactaceae Subtribe Cactinae Philip W. Clayton1, John F. Hubstenberger, and Gregory C. Phillips2 Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003- 0003 S. Ann Butler-Nance Department of Experimental Statistics, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-0003 Additional index words. cactus, in vitro, Escobaria, Mamillaaria, Pediocactus, Sclerocactus, Toumeya Abstract. Micropropagation of 11 rare or endangered cacti species belonging to the subtribe Cactinae was achieved by rooting of proliferated axillary shoots. Shoot tip explants were obtained from seedlings of Escobaria missouriensis D.R. Hunt, E. robbinsorum (Earle) D.R. Hunt, Sclerocactus spinosior (Engelm.) Woodruff & L. Benson, and Toumeya papyracantha (Engelm.) Br. & Rose, and from mature plants of Mammillaria wrightii Engelm., Pediocactus bradyi L. Benson, P. despainii Welsh & Goodrich, P. knowltonii L. Benson, P. paradinei B.W. Benson, P. winkleri Heil, and S. mesae-verdae (Boissevain) L. Benson. Three or four species were used in each of a series of experiments investigating the effects of basal media and auxin and cytokinin types and concentrations on axillary shoot proliferation. Low or no auxin but moderate to high cytokinin concentrations were required for axillary shoot production. All species rooted spontaneously on hormone-free media; however, several species rooted better on media containing auxin. All species were re-established in the greenhouse. The propagation of native cacti is usually done with seed and painii, P. paradinei, P. winklerii, Toumeya papyracantha), rooted offshoots; however, conventional propagation methods threatened (E. robbinsorum, S. mesae-verdae), or endangered are inadequate for those species that exhibit no to few offshoots, (P.

  • Mirabilis Nyctaginea (Michx.) Macmill
    A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). Mirabilis nyctaginea (Michx.) MacMill. Wild four-o’clock Family: Nyctaginaceae Range: All western states except Arizona and Oregon. Habitat: Found in a wide range of habitats, including perennial crops such as orchards and alfalfa fields, waste areas and along roadsides, railroad lines, woodlands, pastures, riparian areas, and dry meadows and rangelands. It is often found on sandy or rocky soil, but can also grow on clay soils or along waterways. It rarely establishes in annually cultivated ground. Origin: Native east of the Rocky Mountains, from Montana to Mexico, and east to Wisconsin and Alabama. Impacts: Wild four-o’clock can spread from small infestations to hundreds of acres very quickly. It colonizes both perennial agriculture and rangelands. It can outcompete pasture and grassland plants. It can compete in the same habitat as Macfarlane’s four-o’clock (Mirabilis macfarlanei), a rare species that is considered threatened in Idaho and endangered in Oregon. Western states listed as Noxious Weed: Washington Wild four-o’clock is a taprooted perennial to 4 ft tall.

Hunt var. missouriensis, Mammillaria missouriensis Sweet, Neobesseya missouriensis (Sweet) Britton & Rose, Neomamillaria missouriensis (Sweet) Britton & Rose [Rydberg 1932] After an attempt to sort out specimens at KANU, however, R.L. McGregor (unpubl. manu.) concluded that Benson’s varieties leave much to be desired, at least for Great Plains material. In his examination of KANU material and subsequent re-reading of Benson’s distribution map, McGregor suggests that species may comprise distinct Rocky Mountain and Great Plains populations and that further taxonomic work is warranted. I treat the species without infraspecific varieties here, but future work bear on the conclusions drawn here.
